Tait said about Shakib, as far as I know, Shakib will play the entire tournament. There is no telling what will happen in the next few weeks. He is very happy to be a part of our team. Of course, he is a star cricketer. Along with his bowling-batting, his leadership qualities will also help us. It's great to have someone like him in the team.

Shaun Tait said about the team, we had a meeting after coming to Bangladesh. Local people in our team management have good idea about local cricketers. They were eager to recruit them. We got the ones we wanted. If you look at our foreign cricketers, you will see some great ones coming.

The 11th season of BPL will start in the last week of December. Before that, the players' draft was held on Monday.

Tait said after the draft, I played BPL for Chittagong Kings in 2013. It was a very easy decision for me to say yes to them. I have a relationship with them since my playing career. The last time I came to BPL I was the coach of Chittagong Challengers. I think I have a special connection with Chittagong.
